Differences in survival on chronic dialysis treatment between ethnic groups in Denmark: a population-wide, national cohort study

Conclusions
Incident chronic dialysis patients in Denmark originating from countries other than Denmark have a better survival compared with native Danes. For Western immigrants, this survival benefit declines among those who have lived in Denmark longer. For non-Western immigrants, the survival benefit largely remains over time.
